Creative Reminder: Anything Goes!

I’ve been feeling a little lost on the creative front. All my energies have been going to writing, and my fiber artist, who loves to sew and knit, has been terribly neglected. Fortunately, my quilt guild (the Rocky Mountain Creative Quilters) had a thoughtful and articulate speaker at this week’s meeting.

Tom Lundberg is a fiber artist and a professor at Colorado State University. He gave an inspiring talk that explored a variety of ways fibers can be used to create objects. The art he shared with us showed the wild and unusual things modern artists are doing with yarn, thread, fabric, and other materials. When his talk was over I nearly jumped out of my seat to run up and talk to him.

Yes indeed. Though my painted and drawn art tends to be pretty utilitarian and illustrative, I do make the occasional hamster or skull and crossbones-shaped meatloaf, and I find art wherever I go, in abandoned buildings, leaves and skies. Great affirmation, Kit.

Thanks, Julie. I can’t believe I forgot this, but I think it really explains why I’ve been less than excited about quilting lately. I’ve gotten into a bit of a rut and been working within some unwritten parameters that are kind of limiting. Hope to get time in the studio soon to start thinking about what I can do that’s different.

Thanks! I am also putting a lot of my energy into writing right now. But I definitely ebb and flow with my creative work, and sometimes I need to make stuff with my hands. I sometimes get frustrated that there isn’t more time. Still trying to figure out how to live forever. 🙂
